FURIA beat Team Falcons 3–1 to win BLAST Rivals Fall 2025

Brazilian esports organization FURIA has won the BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 title, taking down a formidable Team Falcons 3-1 in a nail-biting Grand Final on Sunday.

The victory in the high-stakes Counter-Strike 2 tournament marks FURIA’s final competitive statement before teams head to the highly anticipated StarLadder Budapest Major. The win is a massive momentum boost for FURIA, securing their third Tier 1 trophy and building on their recent triumph at IEM Chengdu 2025.

For an organization that has long pursued consistent top-tier success, this back-to-back performance solidifies its status as a world-class contender and a team to watch in Budapest. Fans are buzzing, viewing this victory as the culmination of years of strategic roster development and a clear signal of the team’s peak form.

The Grand Final was a spectacle of resilience. Team Falcons came out swinging, dominating FURIA 13-3 on Inferno and putting the Brazilians on the back foot immediately. But FURIA fired back, leveling the series with a confident 13-9 victory on Nuke. The series then descended into a tense, overtime-filled battle.

On Train, both squads refused to give an inch, forcing the map into double overtime. It was here that FURIA’s AWPer, Danil ‘molodoy’ Golubenko, became the difference-maker. His two crucial quad-kills in overtime shattered the stalemate, and FURIA ultimately clinched the map 19-15.

The drama continued on Mirage, where Team Falcons once again pushed the game to overtime. But FURIA’s defense held strong, with molodoy’s AWPing again proving pivotal in turning a 5-7 halftime deficit into a 19-16 map win and a 3-1 series victory.

This championship run validates FURIA’s position at the apex of Counter-Strike. The organization, a cornerstone of Brazilian esports, has navigated significant roster adjustments in recent years to build a championship-caliber lineup.

For Team Falcons, the second-place finish is another chapter in their rapid ascent. After making aggressive, high-profile signings to assemble a “superteam,” Falcons have consistently reached the final stages of major events. While missing out on the trophy stings, their performance at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 proves their roster is a legitimate threat to any team in the world.

Their ability to push a red-hot FURIA to multiple overtimes underscores their potential to disrupt the upcoming Major. Winning the last significant event before a Major is a well-known game-changer, dramatically shifting team dynamics and betting odds. Historically, teams that enter a Major with a fresh trophy are hyped, carrying a psychological edge that can be decisive.

Tournament series like the BLAST Premier are often seen as critical testing grounds where championship mettle is forged. FURIA’s path to the final was a gauntlet. They opened their campaign with a 2-1 victory over regional rivals PaiN Gaming before facing Team Vitality in a winner’s match.

After a hard-fought 2-1 series win over the French squad, they secured a direct path to the playoffs. They met PaiN Gaming once more in the semi-finals, dispatching them with a clean 2-0 sweep to set up the Grand Final clash with Team Falcons, who had themselves swept Vitality in the other semi-final.

As the dust settles in Hong Kong, all eyes turn to Budapest. FURIA heads into the Major not just as a contender, but as a proven champion with the wind at their back. Team Falcons, meanwhile, has demonstrated its elite status and will be hungry for revenge on the world’s biggest stage. The rivalry is set, and the Counter-Strike world is waiting.
